I have owned dogs (Great Dane, Siberian Husky and Dalmation) while living in NY and LA. I truly love the animals and play with them while visiting relatives and friends....the love me too. I communicate very well with them if they are trained to commands such as come,, sit, stay etc. I am an active person so exercise is one thing a dog that I walk will receive. My routine would be meeting the dog at first, in a lowered position, and pet him/her. I would offer a treat to the dog naturally if allowed. I am available most days unless I have a doctor appointment or if on vacation. I am planning on doing volunteer work at the Us Open in March so I might not be available on certain days due to this
